Learning with Kids: the Journey of two Teachers

Author: sharinglearnings

We are Tami & Ali, two curious explorers who love traveling, meeting new people and cultures and learning from each new experiences of life. We met each other in Madrid and very soon we discovered a common and genuine interest in colors, patterns, smells, textures, paper, music, boxes and how to create a puppet by dressing up a stick with feathers, buttons and recycled wrapping paper.
Our ideas have been growing and growing and Christmas was approaching so we decided to start off a project together. And this is how our first Xmas Happy Camp arrived (the first of many yet to come!).
Realizing how much we can learn form sharing our experiences, we created this space for us, to keep inspiring each other, and for everyone who feels to connect with this Learning Community. We invite YOU to participate actively, sharing ideas, experiences, posts, writing feedbacks and reflections, commenting on this blog or by email at sharinglearningsontheroad@gmail.com
Looking forward to forge new ideas with you!

Her love and commitment to Life, the one which for her is Worthy to be lived, brought her to create and experience teaching projects for children in Italy, Ecuador and Spain.
Always more and more aware and excited about her Learning Teaching Journey, she's designing new play-based educational courses.
Currently she's in Madrid, but soon we'll be back in Italy. Uuuh, I was forgetting.

Extremely delighted by these experiences and all she has been learning, she developed new motivational resources for kids to learn a second language .
What's more, she is soon going to take all this, with all of her creative crazyness to a jumping group of 3 -year olds in a very well known school in Atlanta!
